I have given up on the Centaurs and am hoping someone here has a saved game for after they have been killed. My husband had a go and my elder daughter with no luck whatsoever. Just can't do that adrenaline Dodge. I always use Stella's walkthroughs and saved games (if needed) but she hasn't finished her walkthrough yet and hasn't completed this level with the Centaurs and so there is no saved game for this part. I could wait until she does this level but don't know how long it will take and i really want to get on with the game. So if anyone has a saved game for after the Centaurs please send it to nicola@njwinyard.co.uk

Thanks

i just figured out the right way to do the dodge today, you have to roll left or right wen prompted, two grey targets get closer together as you do it when they go together and go red onto the centaur press shoot. then you can grapple its sheild. i really enjoyed that boss fight

I have not gotten to them yet. I have heard the Centaurs are harder the the T-Rex. I used the Save game from Stella to by pass the T-Rex. I was getting so fed up with the T-Rex I downloaded it.

I think the title says it all. If im shooting one centuar, the other one decides to get enraged and the one that im not shooting charges at Lara. But, Laras still targeting the non-charging one, so even if i dodge, the target doesnt appear on the enraged one's head. Like, ive been at this for over an hour now, and ive only gotten one AD to work... Are there any tricks to getting this to work? Ive tried all three targeting modes, but she still wont start shooting the angry one. Sigh.... Im on PS2, if that helps.

i beat the trex not even knowing you had to make him run into the debris with pins on, i just shot him for aaaages lol

im not sure, i struggled at first but when you do the dodge i realised two targets appear you have to wait a second they go together turn red then you press shoot (R1), i beat them really quick after i realised that

I just beat them, but thats not what i meant. Like, i know you have to wait until the targets go together, but when the screen blurred, Lara was locked onto the centaur that WASNT running at her, so the two targets never even appeared.

I guess this thread can be locked or deleted or whatever now.

I tried that over and over and over again. My hand kept cramping up. How did you do it? I would love to do it without resorting to cheat codes and saved games.

That's basically how I did it...he crashes into the building when you finally kill it....

I killed the 2 centaurs last night with just the shotgun;

whenever their rage meter goes up and they start firing they green ray, I had Lara duck and then I moved Lara out of the way when they charged her.

Lara did not get one single damage hit and I didn't use any medipack.

I found out if you have Lara chase them from behind and shoot them with the shotgun when the target reticle turns from white to red, they will receive major damage to their health bar.

There is no need to use the grapple to take their shield away and use it as a deflector dish or any of that nonsense!!

I've been using just the pistols...but I only have one lg. and two small medipacks...? > if Lara does a footslide thing is that the AD thing...if so I've never got her to do a head shot...it is very easy to not get hit except when trying to do that AD....

Thats what i did too. I couldnt figure out why it was taking so long, lol.

I need serious help...LOLz...I can't kill the centaurs...I can't even move their health bar down...I've only froze one once and then I got trampled by the other one...

EDIT: I think I realized the problem...I didn't know you had to use manual aim...or pust the left analog stick...the icon that comes up makes it look like you have to move it a circle or something...

Nevermind...I still couldn't get her to do anything...she either crouched or got trampled...I tried holding the target and pushing on the left analog stick...nothing happens...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

The only thing I can think of to suggest are to keep the target button pressed all the time to maintain a permanent lock to make sure that Lara will do the adrenaline dodge when the centaurs charge. Only release it if they start shooting Lara with the green beam; when they do that you should make Lara crouch so she won't get turned to stone.

I've tried it j7wild's way, but I can't get their health to decrease except by using the shields to turn them into stone.

Make sure that you press crouch/roll and left or right only at the right time (an icon with arrows should appear in the corner of the screen telling you when to do it) and remember to always keep the target locked.

That’s it I have lost the will to play I can't do it. I have tried every way and still the bloody things take my health and I go no further. I'm going to quit after tomorrow (TR junky that I am need one more fix) and bring the game back to Game and get something less frustrating. Any one offer some help? Please

awww... I hope you're not really serious about quitting. I know how frustrating it gets. I couldn't do it myself with the keyboard cause you need the dodge move so much in that.

How about using a savegame? Or try with a controller instead? (in case you're playing with pc and using keyboard). Take a day break and then go back to it. That usually helps too. And we're all willing to help with ideas and give moral support!

Good luck!!

I'm probably doing it too early but should I press the left analog stick or move it left or right????

I don't play on PS2, but going by the Anniversary controls page at Stella's...

You need to press L1 to get a target lock. Keep this button pressed and shoot at the centaurs until they become enraged. They will then shoot a green beam at Lara. Release L1 and press Circle to make Lara crouch. This will keep her from being turned into stone by the beam.

Once the centaurs have finished shooting the green beam, press L1 again to get a lock on the centaurs and start shooting them again. This time when their rage bars become full they will charge at Lara. Keep L1 pressed and shoot the centaurs, while keeping Lara moving sideways. Once you see the centaurs become enraged, stop shooting, or the move won't work. Keep L1 pressed all the time and keep Lara moving either to the left or right all the time too. One of the centaurs will charge, and when the screen slows down and the icon in this screenshot (I'm assuming it's the same for PS2)

appears on the screen in the bottom right, press Circle to make Lara do the dodge. As long as you're still pressing L1 and making Lara move sideways, the move should work. Fire only when the grey targeting reticules turn red and you hear a bleeping sound.

you might consider using the D-pad of the controller for the AD, I've found the analog sticks a bit too touchy for moves like this one.

A little tip for everyone to avoid getting turned into stone: when you suspect that they are going to use that move, jump into the water. They cannot turn you into stone whilst you are in the water. I had trouble shaking Lara out of the stone, so I did that to avoid it. Also, make sure you pre-plan when they drop their shields on the floor. Look at the rage meter grow, and then make sure that you are almost touching the shields before it gets full. That way, you don't have to run to the shields in the panic.

Good luck!
